Merrell Speed Strike 2 Leather Thermo Mid Waterproof Boots - Drab

Trekking shoes in green, combining the protection and comfort of trail footwear with a sporty character. The model was developed for people who need durable shoes for the trail while also valuing lightweight construction and freedom of movement in everyday use.

The waterproof upper made of natural full-grain leather and suede shields the feet from moisture and contact with the ground. The soft collar and 200 g/m2 insulation increase comfort on cooler days. The design is completed by a rubber outsole with an outdoor tread, improving traction on varied surfaces.

The upper is made from a combination of waterproof full-grain leather and suede. The use of two types of leather made it possible to combine durability and moisture protection with a proper fit to the shape of the foot.

The full-grain leather used in the front part of the shoe increases resistance to contact with rocks, roots, and other obstacles. The suede elements support upper flexibility and give the footwear a more athletic look.

The enclosed design performs well on trails and forest paths. It protects the foot from abrasions and limits contact with mud, sand, and damp vegetation.

The shoes feature a waterproof membrane, which limits water penetration into the inside of the footwear while also allowing water vapour to escape. This solution helps maintain a dry microclimate inside the shoe during walks and hikes in the rain and on wet trails.

The inside of the shoes is equipped with lightweight synthetic insulation with a 200 g/m2 grammage. The material provides additional thermal insulation without excessively increasing the bulk of the design. The insulation improves comfort in cooler conditions, making the model suitable for the autumn-winter season and for outdoor activities in lower temperatures.

The Speed Strike 2 Waterproof model is equipped with a rubber outsole with a distinctly defined outdoor tread. The sole profile includes multi-directional lugs that increase contact with the ground and support stability while walking on varied surfaces.

The tread pattern increases traction when moving on forest paths, gravel roads, packed ground, and rocky sections. Multi-directional lugs support confident footing during ascents, descents, and changes of direction, while the rubber construction protects the foot from sharp elements of the ground.

The inside of the shoes is lined with breathable mesh made from 100% recycled materials. The material supports air circulation and helps wick away excess moisture generated during movement. The shoes are equipped with a removable EVA foam insole. Its design provides light cushioning.

The midsole is also made of EVA foam. The material helps absorb shock generated while walking on hard and uneven ground. The footwear is protected with Cleansport NXT technology, which provides natural control of unpleasant odours. This solution helps maintain freshness during intensive use.

The fit of the shoes is handled by a classic lacing system with metal finishing elements. Hooks and eyelets allow precise adjustment of lace tension along the full length of the upper.
